Jeremiah 25:14-32 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them, even them. And I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the works of their hands.

15. For thus says the Lord God of Israel to me: Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.

16. They will drink, and totter, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

17. Then I took the cup from the hand of the Lord and made all the nations, to whom the Lord had sent me, drink:

18. Jerusalem and thecities of Judah and the kings and the officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

19. Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;

20. and all the foreign people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines (even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod);

21. Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22. and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are beyond the sea;

23. Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;

24. and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the foreign people who dwell in the desert;

25. and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26. and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sheshak shall drink after them.

27. Therefore you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink and be drunk and spew and fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you.

28. It will be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: You shall certainly drink!

29. For I am starting to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.

30. Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: The Lord will roar from on high,and utter His voice from His holy habitation;He will mightily roar against His fold.He will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes,against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31. A noise shall come even to the remote parts of the earth,for the Lord has a controversy with the nations;He shall enter into judgment with all flesh.He shall give those who are wicked to the sword,says the Lord.

32. Thus says the Lord of Hosts: See, disaster shall go forthfrom nation to nation,and a great whirlwind shall be raised upfrom the remote parts of the earth.
